Q18 / 150 · MHT CET 2026 (17 April Shift 1) · Chemistry
Which from following is a homopolymer ?
- Correct answerAPolyacrylonitrile
- BBuna - N
- CUrea formaldehyde resin
- DPolycarbonate
Solution
A homopolymer is a polymer which is formed from only one type of monomer.
Polyacrylonitrile is formed by the addition polymerization of a single monomer, acrylonitrile.
Buna-N is a copolymer formed from two different monomers, 1,3-butadiene and acrylonitrile.
Urea formaldehyde resin is a condensation copolymer formed from urea and formaldehyde.
Polycarbonate is a condensation copolymer typically formed from bisphenol A and phosgene.
Therefore, polyacrylonitrile is the only homopolymer among the given options.
